Topic summary

A store owner is receiving persistent, unwanted marketing and SEO messages through their website contact form. Despite declining these offers, senders continue providing unsolicited critiques of the store.

Suggested solutions include:

  • Implementing CAPTCHA or other security measures on the contact form to reduce automated spam
  • Treating these as scam attempts—never clicking links or replying to such emails
  • Using email spam filters and blocking senders
  • Requiring visitor registration/login before allowing contact form access

Status: The discussion remains open with community members offering preventive measures, but no final resolution from the original poster on which approach they’ll implement.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice. I’ve been dealing with a high volume of unwanted marketing and SEO messages via my website. The issue is that the people contacting me are persistent and continue to offer unsolicited critiques of my store after I’ve said no. Has anyone else experienced this, and what steps did you take to manage it

Those are scammers 100%. Never ever ever EVER click on any link or reply to those emails. They are like cockroaches. Report spam and block.
